286 Mich. App. 230

CAMPBELL v. DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES.

Court of Appeals of Michigan.

Decided November 24, 2009, at 9:05 a.m.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Barnes Monroe Barnes, P.C. (by Joan M. Barnes), for plaintiff.

Michael A. Cox, Attorney General, B. Eric Restuccia, Solicitor General, and Ann M. Sherman, Assistant Attorney General, for defendant.

Before: METER, P.J., and MURRAY and BECKERING, JJ.

METER, P.J.

In this gender-discrimination case, defendant appeals as of right from a judgment for plaintiff entered after a jury trial. We affirm. Of particular note is our holding that although acts of discrimination occurring outside an applicable limitations period are not actionable, evidence of them may, in appropriate cases, be used as "background evidence" to establish a pattern of discrimination and to support a proper claim.
